C., May 27.—Justice Bradley in the District Supreme Co urt to- day dismissed the indictment against | Henry O Havemeyer of the American Sugar Refining Company, charged with contemupt of court for reiusal to give in- | formation to the Senate committee in- | vestigating the sugar scandal. When the proceedings opened District Atiorney Davis began to reply to the motion made yesterday made by Johnson for the defense that the court instruct the jury to return a verdict for the defense. Davis dealt first with the second point made by the defense that it was not the duty of Havemeyer to examine the books of the company to procure data for the committee. He heid tharas Havemeyer did object before the committee to get the date required he should not now be basing his refusal to answer on the allegation that it was not his duty to get such data.

A BLAINE AN INEBRIATE. of the Distinguished Statesman Takng the Keeley Cure at a New York Institution. NEW YORK, N. \'.l. May 27.—Informa- tion has reached here from White P.ains, N. Y., that James G. Blgine Jr., son ot the late Secretlary of State, Is being treated at the Keeley Institute of that place. Young Biaine of late has been going from bad to worse. Hisdissipation has been so exten- sive and his excesses so great thathis friends have found it absolurely necessary iim confined. His drinking increas d afier the divorce was granted his wife some years ago. At that time she alleged that his habits were so bad thit shecould live with bim no longer, it will be remembered that after tue divorce was granted the, wife made all her preparations to go on the siage. She bad a flatiéring offer trom Dantel Frohman and was ready to fiil the engagement when a severe attack of in- flammatory rheumatism set in and for some months her life was despaired of. During her illuess she was attended by Dr. Buil. The physician became very much attached to his patient and after her recovery married her. They are living in Naw Yoir. .now and have a weil-estab- lished social position. Son al's affections, and decided to check the | the defense, and attempted to show that contributions to the lycal campaign fund being investigated by the committee. As to the fifth point he held that thé defend- ant should have inquired had he any doubt that the question was one of the committee and not of an individual mem- ber. Davis then reverted to the first point | that the Senate had no right to inquire as | to contributions made to State and local campaign committees and made a lengthy argument to prove the Senate’s power re- garding a matter which he declared serions enough to cause a Senater to lose his seat if proven. Johnson, for the defense, said the ques- tion which the committee had to deal | with was not whether the sugar trust con- | tributed to local or National committees, but whether any Senator had been in- fluenced in voting on the sugar schedule by the use of money. Johnson could not concede that because Havemeyer did not deciine to produce data from the books on the first day, he was barred from so de- clining on the second day. *“I say to the head men behind the prosecution that if it was the duty of the witness he might be punished for refusing to answer. Even a rattlesnake gives warning before strik- ing.”” Johnsondid not say to whom he referred. At the conclusion of Johnson’sargument Jusuce Bradley ordered a recess, to pre- pare bis ruling on the motion. Bradley opened by saying that the questions were worthy of great deliberation, especially that relating to the power of the Senate in regard to the resolution directing the in- vestigation. These grave questions he had not time to study. But be was pre- | pared to rule on the motion on other “grounds. He then reviewed the proceed- | ings of the Senate and committee. ‘‘Does ine testimony show defendant re- | calcitrant?’” he asked. *‘Tois depends on two questions: Was the subject maiter pertinent and within the jurisdiction of Congress, and did the defendant refuse to furnish the information called for? A negative answer to either of the interroga- tories would make it necessary for me to grant the motion.” The Justice said that Havemeyer was not asked to produce the books, but data {rom the books regarding contributions to the State and local campaign funds, and made the point that Havemeyer was not asked to produce the books, but to testify to the bestof his memory. He continued: *“Personal knowledge and evidence are all that was required of the witness. - The allecation of the indictment 1s that the witness refused to answer it, but he pre- viously testified that he had no recollec- tion of the amouats contriouted. On all these grounds it would appear to me that no court would hold the witness guilty of | contempt. If the defenaant was not guilty of contempt then it is baseless to ask whether the Senate bad jurisdiction. Imust grant the motion for the defense and order the jury to return a verdict of acquittal.’ | As the Judge completed his ruling | | | had an important bearing on the matter | i | | | shop. Havemeyer's face broadened into a smile. When the clerk had polled the jury and the verdict, was announced Davis gave notice that the case against Searles wounld be called to-morrow morning. The court then adjourned. DOES THE COMMITIEE LIVE? An Attempt May Be Made to Kesume the Ineestigatio WASHINGTON, D. C., May 27.—It is probable the acquittal of Ravemeyer to- day will be followed by an attempt in the Senate to-morrow to secure a continua- tion of the so-called sugar stock investiga- tion of 1894. Contrary to the general opinion the special committee appointed to inquire into the alleged stock specula- tions of Senators 1s still in existence, and it is planned for some Senator to offera resolution instructing the committee to resume its investigations and issue a sub- vena to Havemeyer commanding him to appear before 1t with the books of the sugar trust covering disbursements or con- tributions for political purposes in the campaign of 1892, thus bringing the wit- ness within the ruie laid down by Judge Bradley. The claim that the investigat- ing committes is still in legal existence is based on the following facts set forth in be Congressional Recor On Avugust 2, 1594, Gray, chairman of the Eenate special committee, made the final report of the committee and asked that it be discharged from further consid- eration of the subject. To the request Chandler objected, saying: “I think before the committee be dis- charged the Senate ought to have an op- portunity to read the three reports. If the Senator from Delaware makes no ob- jection I ask that action on his request go over for the present.’” To this Vice-President Stevenson re- sponded: -*Without objection 1t will be so ordered.” There was no objection and the request went over and was not acain cailed up. ‘While District Attorney Davis 1s discour- aged over the failure to convict Have- meyer he will press the case against Searles to-morrow on the ground thatit deals with different matters and that Searles is guilt SEELEY DINEKS ELLIEVED, The District Attorney Has Decided Not to Prosecute Them. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 27.—The swell society people of this city are greatly pleased with the news which became known to-day that people who attended the notorious Seeley dinner will not be brought to trial. District Attorney Ol- cott, who has charge of the affair, was seen to-day and asked his reasons for not conducting the prosecution with the vigor that it should be carried on with. Olcott at first was very taciturn, and said he did not care to discass the matter. When pressed he finally consented to make a statement. He said he had aefin- itely decided not to proceed with the trial atall. His reasons for this action—or, rather, inaction—were that the trial would create a wave of immorality. In the opinion of many Olcott has other reasons for not wishine to bring the mat- ter 10 trial. His statement abouta wave of immorality being created is regurded as being an absurd one. 1t is said that very strong pressure has been brought to bear on him to drop the case, and he has yielded to it. Meanwhile, “Little Egypt,” the girl who gave the 1ndecent dance at the dinmer, is traveling over the country repeating the performance to many different audiences at so much per head: e THE CUOLONIAL DAMES. Restoring a KEwnickerbocker Mansion to s Uriginal Beaw'y. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 27.—Members of the Society of Colonial Dames are much | in evidence this afternoon at the opening of the Van Cortlandt mansion in Van Cortlandt park, one of the most distin- guisned homes of the old Dutch period. The society bas bad in charge the work of restoring the mansion to something of its pristine beauty. Wherever there has been decay or wear new pieces havs been substituted, care being taken that the supplied jortions shou!d preserve the antique appearance of the old. Old metal-work has been freed from paint and varnish and burnished until it shines justas in the famous Knickerbocker avs. The formal opening was fixed for this afternoon from the fact that thisis the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the landing of Governor Petrus Stuy- vesant. Tue Colonial Dames are employ- ing the mansion to a certain extent as a museum illustrative of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, while the grounds about the buildings have been put into beaatifal order by the Depart- ment of Parks. Satal ok BECAME TIRED OF WHISKY. Two Men Then Took Morphine and Killea Themsetces. MIDLAND, MrcH.,, May 27.—The citi- zens of this quiet town were greatly hor- rified to-duy to find two dead men in the blacksmith-shop of George Laird. Atfirst the story got around thata double murder had been committed. The men who first found the bodies did not attempt to iden- tify them, but rushed off in hot haste 1o find the constables. He told some people on the way about the discovery and when the peace officers arrived a big crowd had collec.ed around the outer door of the The bodies were lying in an ob- scure_corner and when they were turned over it was found that they were the re- mains of George Laird and James Tim- mons. Laird was the owner of the shop. It appears that the two men had been on the wi'dest kind of revel ever since Moa- day. They had drunk vast guantities ot whisky and when they tired of that they took some morphine. It was tkis drug which caused their death. Timmons was not a married man, but Laird left a widow and child. —_— BATTLE WI1iH A LEOPARD, Desperate and Probably Fatat Fight in Contral Pori’s Museum, NEW YORK, N. Y., May 27.—There was an exciting time in Central Park to-day. iDurmg the transfer of a vicions leopard from one cage to another the brute be- came enraged and attacked two keepers. Madden and Cook, the two men who had the beast in charge, had a very severe tussle with it for fully five minates, For a while it looked as though both men wou'd lose their lives. The fierce animal bit and scratched in tne wildest kind of rage. He would jump at Madden and then ture from him and attack Cook. Other keepers in the park rushed to the aid of the two men, and with great diffi- culty subdued the in‘uriated creature. An examination was made of the two men. Physicians who attend:d them say that it is doubtful whether they will live. Madden had a part of his face”torn away and Cook was horribiy lacerated. i i Conflagration in Ashland. ASHLAND, Wis, May 27.—The worst fire that has occurred in this city for a long time took ' place this morning.

CPPOSITION TO THE RESERVATION One Section of the Sun- dry Civil Bill Warmly Debated. Stewart Says the Setting Aside of So Much Forest Is Folly and Barbarism. But the Conference Report Is Finally Adopted by the Senate. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 27.—In the Senate to-day the reading of the journal of yesterday was dispenszed with, the usual routine morning business sus- pended, and in accordance with the agree- ment of yesterday the conference report on the sundry civil appropriations bill was taken up, so the discassion on the forest Teservation amendment might be con- cluded. . The Utah Senators argued sgainst the report, Cannon :aying the opponents of the forest reservation should insist on the original proposition which was an ‘“abso- lute revocation of the order.” Stewart declared passionately that the setting epart of 21,000,000 acres of forest reservation was a ‘“dedication to folly and barbarism”; that the bureau which adyised it ought to be abolished, and that the act itself was *‘the most bar- barous outrage perpetrated in the last half of the century.” Allison appealed to the Senate to agree to the conference report, saying it was within the power of the two houses to Te- voke absolutely by legislative enactment before March 4 Clevelani’s order. The conference report ouly suspended it till March 1 next. Pettigrew thought the forest reservation a good thing, but did not believe that cities, railroads, mills, mines, farmhouses and barns should be embraced within it. He said in South Dakota the area set apart as a forest reservation contained 18 postoffices, 15,000 people and 50 miles of railroads. He declared he would con- sider himself unfaithful to his people if he did not insist upon the absolute revoca- tion of the order. The vote resultea in adopting the conference report—ayes 32, noes 25. CALL IS SEEKING OFFICE. Tells How He Was Cheated Out of the Florida Senatorship by a Traitor m the Camp. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 27.—For- mer tenator Call has joined the ranks of office-seekers and visited the White House to-day. He said to a reporter: “I was cheated out of the senatorship by & traitor, but have been taught a lesson by my folly.

I needed a few more votes.

May 27.—Forty work- men have leit the co-operative glass works started by socialists at Carmaux about a year ago, and have applied to Resseguier, the glass-manufacturer and capita.ist, to re-employ them.

The palace commandant received the Embassador at the entrance ana con- cucted him to the salon door, where he was received by the President and pre- sented his credentials. Hanotaux, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and officers of the President’s household, were present. President Faure and Porter conversed a little while after the formali- ties of the occasion were observed. In presenting his credentials Embas- sador Porter referred to the bonds of sym- rathy between the United States and France, which, he said, resulted from both countries having similar govern- menis, from their common attachment to liberal institutions and from their alli- ance at the birth ot the American Repub- lic. These had created imperishable ties of friendship. President Faure replied in a similar vein, saying tiat with the common idea of democratic social progress the two countries would always find a footing for friendly agreement.

THE DROP ON OUTLAW PARKER The Arizona Cutthroat Is Taken off His Guard. GOT Captured by a Storekeeper With the Aid of Ten Navajos. Had Two Good Stolen Horses and Plenty of Provisions and Ammunition. FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., May 27.—Jim Par- ker, train --robber, murderer and jail- breaker. is safe in a steel cell of the jail at Flagstaff. He was brought in at 6 o’clock this evening by 8. 8. Preston, who runs a trading-post at Willow Springs, ninety miles northeast of Flagstaff. Tuesday morning Parker ate breakfast with Preston and then took the trail northward. Parker told Preston he was trailing stolen horses. Preston suspected his visitor, and went twelve miles east to Yuba City, where he secured a description of the fug tive. Preston sent an Indian courier into Fiagstaff with the news, and then set out afier Parker with a posse of ten Navajo trailers. Thaey came up with the fugitive after dark and surrounded his camp while he slept. Atdaybreak a gun was fired to waken Parker, who started up with his Win- chester ready to fire. Preston told him to drop his gun. Parker took in the situa- tion very quickly. He hesitated but an instant, then Jowered his rifie and let the Indians come up and lash him secarely, while Preston kept him covered with a gun that almost touched his forenead. Parker was tgen tied ona horse and the party set out for Flagstaff. About noon they were met by Sheriff Ruffuer and his posze. Parker had two good horses and plenty of provisions and ammunition. The horses belong to parties living near Wil- liams. Parker was on his way to Lee’s ferry, and if he had crossed the river in safety he would have been practically be- yond pursuit. Parker was fagged out when he reached Flagstaff, and seemed despondent. The vagfious rewards offered for his capture amount to $3000, and these will be claimed by Preston. An extra guard has been placed upon him in jail, and he is not likely to escape again. It is thought he will be kept here until tried, as the authorities fear mob law at Prescott.
